Chapter 1934: Chapter 509: The Story of Time

Posters of a disciplined Cristiano Ronaldo are all over Portugal, even by the seaside. Meanwhile, Ferreira, who was once just as talented, works at a seaside farm.

Huang Kaiwen really admires Cristiano Ronaldo’s personality.

Without a competitive spirit, it’s hard to stand out in the football world.

Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo waiting on the side, Huang Kaiwen patted his shoulder and said, "I hope to see you in the finals again next year."

"Hmph, I will be!"

Cristiano Ronaldo turned his head and said.

But he felt a bit happy inside.

After Huang Kaiwen left, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly remembered something.

Huang Kaiwen didn’t wash his hands!

...

Post-match press conference.

When Huang Kaiwen entered the room, Mourinho was speaking.

Standing still, Huang Kaiwen was quickly waved onto the stage by a smiling Mourinho: "It’s okay, come on up."

Once Huang Kaiwen took his seat, Mourinho continued, "Look, it’s the same for the press conference as it is for the match, it’s just not the same without Kevin. I don’t want to say that we lost to one person, but the fact is, Kevin’s presence makes AC Milan a completely different team."

"I agree too."

Guardiola nodded and said, "I think Kevin changed everything. During my playing days, games against Real Madrid were always special, but today’s match didn’t go as I expected. Kevin made things simpler."

"Mr. Mourinho, some say there are no Real Madrid jerseys in London, and you rarely see Real Madrid fans. What do you think?"

A reporter asked.

Mourinho chuckled and replied, "Well, I’ll have to talk with Adidas and see what happened, why there are no jerseys. If that’s what you want to think, it’s okay by me."

Not only Guardiola,

but the reporters also sensed something unusual about Mourinho.

Today, Mourinho was unusually easygoing.

A reporter from "The Sun" named Gareth Perry asked, "What do you think about the Giggs situation? You’re friends with Sir Ferguson, right?"

Mourinho responded, "I don’t comment on other people’s family matters. Although this situation is uncommon, I’ve read similar stories in history books, except Giggs is not a noble or a king."

The French reporters didn’t look pleased.

Because they felt mocked.

But the British are no different, especially with Prince Charles’ antics.

"Did you lose today because you didn’t hire a wizard?"

A reporter quickly changed the topic.

"Of course not. I don’t want to make excuses, but this is reality."

Mourinho said, "Last year I was the European champion, and this year I’m the runner-up. Again, if Kevin were at Real Madrid, the championship would be ours."

Casillas nodded and said, "It’s very difficult facing Kevin in a match. Before the game, I did think this might happen. When a player can get past defenders in the box twice and break through again, it’s not something that can be solved with defense."

"Kevin, what’s the secret to your outstanding performance?"

A reporter asked.

Before Huang Kaiwen could speak, Guardiola jumped in, "You should check out Barbara Berlusconi’s interview. She talked about Kevin’s diet and training. I remember an article titled ’London at Four in the Morning.’ Even though Kevin has remarkable talent, he also works incredibly hard to match it. That’s the secret to his success."

Huang Kaiwen spread his hands, indicating that’s exactly it.

The money given to the reporters wasn’t wasted, and the Yellow Ball King indeed lives up to being an inspirational figure.

"Pep, does winning this head-to-head suggest you’re a better coach than Mr. Mourinho?"

A "World Sports News" reporter asked.

"Of course not, how could that be?"

Guardiola quickly denied, "Jose has won three UEFA Champions League titles. In the past two years, he has won 10 trophies, including two Premier Leagues and two Champions Leagues, which is very difficult. No one can easily take the title from Sir Ferguson and Mr. Wenger in the Premier League, which is a highly competitive league."

"Will you consider coaching in the Premier League in the future?"

A British reporter asked.

"Who knows about the future?"

Guardiola shrugged and said.

Mourinho subconsciously nodded.

If not for this UEFA Champions League final, he wouldn’t have thought Guardiola actually liked him.

The events in this world are really hard to predict.

"Kevin, tell us your thoughts."

A reporter asked.

Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "Every time I win a championship, I get excited, but I’m never completely satisfied. I always hope to win more titles."

"Was today’s match easy?"

The reporter asked further.

"You’re joking." Huang Kaiwen immediately shook his head and said, "No team can feel relaxed playing against Real Madrid. They have Cristiano, Karim, Xabi Alonso, and Casillas, which makes them one of the best teams in football."

Huang Kaiwen glanced at Guardiola.

Guardiola immediately stood up, and the two of them left together.

They had a tacit understanding about the press conference.

The reporters behind them groaned, but they couldn’t expect to extract any more news from the Milan team and its staff.

Later on.

The whole team flew back to Milan.

Even though it was already past 3 a.m., the airport was packed with Milan fans.

With his rich experience, Huang Kaiwen straightforwardly came forward and said, "It’s very late today, and we need some rest. After the Coppa Italia, we will have the grandest celebration!"

"Milan!"

"Milan!"
